A big topic early in the week of The Masters on the LIVE FROM set will be how poorly many of the best players in the world are playing this year and why. These are the players most off in form (SG Total) who were in the top 20 last year on the eve of the Masters. 1) Patrick Cantlay -1.767 2) Matt Fitzpatrick -1.608 3) Max Homa -1.558 4) Viktor Hovland -1.401 5) Tom Kim -1.388 6) Collin Morikawa -1.331 7) Tony Finau -1.265 8) Rory Mcilroy -1.023 9) Justin Thomas -.618 In addition to these players, Tommy Fleetwood who was 27th in the world last year at this time is -2.049 worse in Strokes Gained Total year over year…and Keegan Bradley who was 22nd in the world last year at this time is -.842 worse in Strokes Gained Total. In addition to this, there is some statistical analysis (mind you the stats on LIV aren’t great) that will show how the games of many of the stars on LIV have fallen off as well. This will do one of two things in my opinion. It will either make this year’s Masters (which is bar far the most predictable major) wide open or an absolute cake walk for Scottie Scheffler given how few stars are playing well in the world.
